Denson, who played 13 scoreless minutes vs. Kentucky, has only played in six games for the Tigers this year while Price, who was scoreless in six minutes vs. the Wildcats, has played in 12. QUOTING TONY BARBEE (On Vanderbilt) Vanderbilt is a good team, but they are a team like us in transition with a lot of young players. They have been playing well as of late. They have been shooting the ball well as of late, and there is no secret that we have to guard that 3-point line against that team. They all shoot it well from one through fi ve. It's going to be a diffi cult matchup, especially on the road at Vandy where they play well." LAST TIME OUT Kentucky 75, Auburn 53 (Jan. 19, 2013, in Auburn, Ala.) Kyle Wiltjer had 17 points and Nerlens Noel added 10 points, nine rebounds and seven blocks as Kentucky shot 67 percent from the fl oor in the second half to defeat Auburn in sold out Auburn Arena.

Auburn was 0-of-15 from 3-point range and did not make a 3-pointer for the fi rst time since March 1, 1997, against Ole Miss and just the third time in program history. Both teams struggled from the fi eld early and Auburn led 6-4 just under nine minutes into the game as both teams were shooting a combined 5-of-30 (17 percent) from the fl oor. After connecting on two of its fi rst 10 fi eld goal attempts, Kentucky responded by knocking down fi ve of its next nine from the fl oor to take a lead over the Tigers with 7:01 left in the first half. Sullivan converted a circus shot for two with 48.6 left as the Tigers trailed Guards Chris Denson and Jordan Price both returned from injury against Kentucky but both were scoreless as Denson played 13 minutes and Price six.

The Commodores made 13-of-29 from 3-point range. After Varez Ward made a 3-pointer, Vanderbilt scored 10 straight points in 1:43 to take an 11-3 lead in the opening four minutes. The Commodores made their fi rst fi ve 3-point attempts and only missed one fi eld goal of their first nine as they closed out an 8-0 run racing to a 24-9 lead almost halfway through the fi rst half. Auburn scored six straight points to close to within with seven minutes left but that is as close as the Tigers would get the rest of the way. Holding a halftime lead, Vanderbilt scored the fi rst fi ve points of the second half en route to an 11-2 run to take a lead with 16:20 to play. Vanderbilt outshot Auburn 44.9 percent to 27.3 percent from the fi eld and 13-of-29 (.448) to 3-of-13 (.231) from 3-point range. The Tigers were also 2-of-10 from the foul line and were outrebounded Auburn lost its fifth-straight SEC opener and eighth of its last nine while losing its sixth-straight game to Vanderbilt.

It's the fi rst time since the season that Auburn has lost two doubleovertime games in the same season. The Tigers lost to No. 5 Tennessee and to Toledo in the Energia Systems Thanksgiving Tournament in Kansas City, Mo. 2-0 IN SEC 1ST TIME IN 10 YEARS Auburn started 2-0 in the SEC for the fi rst time in 10 years when Cliff Ellis' Tigers started league play 4-0 in with wins over Vanderbilt, at Arkansas, at South Carolina and over No. 9 Alabama. That year's team went on to reach the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 where it lost to eventual National Champion Syracuse in Albany, N.Y. FRANKIE NAMED SEC PLAYER OF THE WEEK by CollegeSportsMadness.com Frankie Sullivan was named SEC Player of the Week by CollegeSportsMadness.com for his game-high 24-points in Auburn s come-from-behind victory over defending ACC Champion Florida State. Sullivan shot 3-of-7 from 3-point range and had four rebounds and a steal. The Uniontown, Ala., native scored 18 first half points to help bring Auburn back from a 12-point defi cit to trailing by only at halftime. Auburn won despite second leading scorer Chris Denson and 53 percent 3-point shooter Jordan Price being out with stress fractures. Sullivan shot 6-of-15 from the floor and 9-of-11 from the foul line as his streak of 21 consecutive made free throws came to an end. "That's what we're going to need all year, said Sullivan. I think I did my part in just carrying us and keeping us in the game in the fi rst half. That's what I do. I don't try to score just to be scoring and get my points up, but I did that. I was hot in the fi rst half, and the team started going in the second half. I tried not to force anything, and just let the team play. Josh (Wallace) did a great job of distributing the ball to us tonight. I think our bench did exceptionally well. Without our bench, I don't think we would've won this game." Sullivan ranks third in the SEC, averaging 17.2 points per game, and has scored more than 20 points in eight of Auburn's games this season, including a careerhigh 28 points vs. DePaul on Nov. 30 on 4-of-7 three-point shooting.

The fi rm of Robins & Morton of Birmingham served as construction manager. The 243,792 square foot facility features chair back seats along with bleacher seating for students. The building also provides improved facilities for the studentathletes, including men's and women's locker room suites with sports medicine facilities, lounges and team meeting rooms. Along with a strength and conditioning center, a two-court practice facility enables the team another practice areas. The arena has 12 luxury suites on the arena level that not only open inside the facility, but also opens on the outside of the arena for multiple entertaining opportunities throughout the year. Loge box seating also is available as well as on-site food preparation. The seating confi guration offers better sight lines and moves fans closer to the court. The furthest seat is just 43 feet in elevation from courtside, compared to 60 feet in elevation at Beard-Eaves, with two-thirds of the seats in Auburn Arena being less than 27 feet in elevation from courtside. The scoreboard features a highdefi nition video board with full message/ information center technology. For the student fan amenities, there is a private entrance, a private courtside commons and food court and courtside seating that permits standing with unobstructed views. The new facility serves as more than a sports complex.

He averaged 10 points and 10 rebounds last season. In his fi rst game at IMG, Delph totaled 22 points and 12 rebounds where he made a big shot to tie the game late. Delph chose Auburn over Texas A&M, Cincinnati and Miami. Ronald Delph has tremendous upside as a 5-man at 7-foot, 235 pounds, said Barbee. He is extremely athletic with great skills in the post. He is a great shot blocker and a great rebounder and can do a lot of great things. He has the ability to step out on the fl oor and do some things on the perimeter and shoot the ball from three. Benas Griciunas, 7-0, 225, C AUBURN Silute, Lithuania (Findlay Prep) Pronunciation: (Ben iss Gris see oon us) Benas Griciunas is in his third year attending Findlay Prep in Henderson, Nev., where the team has 12 Div. I players on its roster. The lefthander had 17 points off the bench vs. LA Prep on Nov. 9 and had seven points and seven boards vs. LA Prep a day later as he is playing only minutes per game. He chose Auburn over Georgia Tech, Boston College, St. Mary s and Washington State. I like what Benas brings, said Barbee. He is a multi-skilled big man at 6-foot-11, almost 7-foot, but he can shoot the ball. He is a really good passer, and he can handle the ball. He has a great feel in the post. He is left-handed, so he is a difficult matchup. Tahj Shamsid-Deen, 5-10, 162, G Decatur, Ga.

He has a 3.9 GPA, averaged 14 points, 10 assists and three steals as a junior at Columbia last year. He chose Auburn over UCLA, UConn, Richmond and Northwestern. Tahj is a winner, said Barbee. He has great speed and great ball skills. He can really score the ball and shoot the ball from the point guard position. He comes from a winning program with three state championships in the state of Georgia Class AAA. Two-time Mr. Basketball in AAA basketball in Georgia, and we know how competitive basketball is in that state. I love the fact that he brings that

9 winning background. Winning breeds winning. On top of that, he is a fantastic student. I am excited about Tahj joining our program. Auburn-Vanderbilt Game Notes -- page 9 WHAT'S NEXT?
